Well, this morning, after turning on the computer, the d: drive is again
all read only.* I know it was ok yesterday afternoon.* And, if I try to
change the permission, Windows say I must log in as the administrator. I
know how to do this from a Command Prompt window, but do you do it from
a regular Windows, window?


I think this is an Emily Latella moment (SNL). I'd like to say, "never
mind". I just found out that today, the only time I get read only on
the d: drive is, when I approach a file via an existing desktop
shortcut. Now yesterday, was a different story ... No matter how you
got to a file on the d: drive, it was read only. Today I removed the
shortcut and made a new one. All's ok now. Thanks.


Sounds like a "property" issue with the shortcut.

I hate it when that happens.
